But i can do pretty much everything, like creating process that listen to custom port (need to create a ticket with the host though as they need to know what is being run). But one question, why do you need root access for ? The base server is running Centos 5. regards VK -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Something like EveryDNS.net or XNAME.org should be perfectly acceptable. Wrt your hosting, is it a VPS with root access? Does it run Ubuntu?

I have a spare account (read sparingly used) with webfaciton.com , which can be used. They provide all the services that we need. (including svn and mailing list, but I guess we are not moving it right now). I can host all the services of ubuntu-in with the above mentioned account. We also had a discussion regarding generating revenue with ads. I have no objection with ubuntu-in generating revenue. Ubuntu-in can generate revenue and continue hosting as long as you guys want to (if need be, I will sponsor a separate account). We can shift the hosting immediately, if the proposal is acceptable. As for DNS problem, I will recommend that we create an account with answerable.com . So, our effective expenditure will be about $15 per year for domain fee plus managed DNS.

I have a good hosting plan, and if possible I can allow hosting of the whole community portal. If you could tell me the space, bandwidth requirements, and any other add-ons you might require? (like cgi-bin, ssh etc.) Would love to help in any way.
